Chuck Pagano delighted with shutout display

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has revealed that he was delighted to see his side's defense shut out the Cincinnati Bengals in their resounding win at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The Colts recorded their first shutout of a team since the 2008 season, and Pagano feels that his defense is starting to show progress that could make them contenders in the AFC.

"We're just starting to get a glimpse of what we envisioned when we got together a couple years ago," Pagano told reporters.

"Looks like that monster is starting to rear its head a little bit. We just have to stay humble, keep working and get better."

Pagano's side are 5-2 in their season after their win over the Bengals.
